Got my TikiMag today!?! Only 25 days after the release!!!! Hey Dagmar-Where's the booty??? All the "Rare and never before seen tiki drink vessels, sterling silver tiki jewelry, rare tiki art and tiki carvings, etc. etc."???

Arrrgh, mateys! Us treasure finders are getting a little restless a'waiting for the booty vault to be unlocked and revealed, eh? Have we all be gathered 'round so we can hear from Dagmar and grab our loot and scurry off to discover more booty and grog? I see the plank being lowered on the port side of the deck. Do I smell mutiny in the ranks?

The first ever Great Tiki Treasure Hunt has ended! Congratulations to all 20 winners! There will be more hunts to come and every hunt will be different from the last... some will be harder and some easier. The treasures will vary from hunt to hunt depending upon the difficulty of the hunt and the number of prizes awarded!

Some of you have asked that I publish the names of the winners. I have been contacted by a few of the winners asking that their information be kept confidential, which I believe is best.

Very shortly, all of the winners will be receiving their treasures and there will be a very special bonus prize for the 1st place finisher! I hope those of you who participated had a good time!

Congrats to all the Treasure Finders, whoever you are! Many of us have identified ourselves already in earlier postings.

I guess I understand the confidentiality, Holden, er Dagmar, but it would be nice to see that Anyone, from Anywhere, had a chance of locating the treasure and clues. I "partnered" up with 2 Southern California ohana to get started, but once we banded together, we all located the virtual clues. To repay the mana, I even gave a few hints to other TC ohana in different locals so they could sniffing out the clues.

I had a GREAT time, thanks again, Holden! I have been storing up so much Tiki and Aloha information lately, it was nice to put some of it to use when deciphering your clues.

Thanks Holden, verging on the Dagamar obsessed & tiki neurotic at times during the hunt, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Weather I win anything or not. It was fun. I would hope that even though the hunt is over people will still attempt to find the last clue, which in my opinion was the best part of the hunt! Many mahalos Tiki Farm and everyone who participated!

Ok, ok...a little joke. I don't want this to turn into a Tiki Mag bashing thread. The Magazine is awsome and Nick puts a zillion hours of hard work to get it out there, plus work a regular job (or irregular - he teaches, which takes a lot of personal time as well). We all owe Nick a debt of gratitude for the beautiful job he does with the mag and his un-ending support of the culture!
